Beyond the sunset Lyrics English Translation by Paul Kim
Looking at the setting sun as evening falls
I recall the many fleeting connections that passed by
The heart that couldn’t burn
The stubbornly enduring ember
They are all shadows I’ve drawn
Here in this place where I first arrived
I live for tomorrow, more than for today
I can do anything at all
I just must not grow weary
I just must not give up
For the chance will come again
This idea that I must succeed no matter what
It’s all just greed, you see
Where my heart’s flowers bloom
What makes me smile
Beyond that distant, far-off horizon
There’s no need to rush to reach it
It’s okay if I’m late
Even as I am right now, it’s good
My friends who ran alongside me
I wonder where they are, how they’re doing now
At that place we promised
We’ll meet again with smiles
Though the paths we take are different
We will all be happy
This idea that I must succeed no matter what
It’s all just greed, you see
Where my heart’s flowers bloom
What makes me smile
Beyond that distant, far-off horizon
There’s no need to rush to reach it
It’s okay if I’m late
Even as I am right now, it’s good
I’ll look back on the path I’ve walked
The me from back then
Just dreaming was enough for me
I can just go the way my heart is drawn
I can walk that path
Where my heart’s flowers bloom
For you who make me smile and for the stars I love
Happiness is right here
It’s okay if I’m late
Even as I am right now, it’s good
